Mega thanks to Sebastian Deiß, with + assist by Torsten Landschoff. +* :bug:`346 major` Fix an issue in private key files' encryption salts that + could cause tracebacks and file corruption if keys were re-encrypted. Credit + to Xavier Nunn. +* :feature:`362` Allow users to control the SSH banner timeout. Thanks to Cory + Benfield. +* :feature:`372` Update default window & packet sizes to more closely adhere to + the pertinent RFC; also expose these settings in the public API so they may + be overridden by client code. This should address some general speed issues + such as :issue:`175`. Big thanks to Olle Lundberg for the update. +* :bug:`373 major` Attempt to fix a handful of issues (such as :issue:`354`) + related to infinite loops and threading deadlocks. Thanks to Olle Lundberg as + well as a handful of community members who provided advice & feedback via + IRC. +* :support:`374` (also :issue:`375`) Old code cleanup courtesy of Olle + Lundberg. +* :support:`377` Factor `~paramiko.channel.Channel` openness sanity check into + a decorator. Thanks to Olle Lundberg for original patch. +* :bug:`298 major` Don't perform point validation on ECDSA keys in + ``known_hosts`` files, since a) this can cause significant slowdown when such + keys exist, and b) ``known_hosts`` files are implicitly trustworthy. Thanks + to Kieran Spear for catch & patch. + + .. note:: + This change bumps up the version requirement for the ``ecdsa`` library to + ``0.11``. + * :bug:`234 major` Lower logging levels for a few overly-noisy log messages about secure channels. Thanks to David Pursehouse for noticing & contributing the fix. diff --git a/sites/www/installing.rst b/sites/www/installing.rst index 052825c4..5528b28a 100644 --- a/sites/www/installing.rst +++ b/sites/www/installing.rst @@ -20,11 +20,14 @@ We currently support **Python 2.6, 2.7 and 3.3+** (Python **3.2** should also work but has a less-strong compatibility guarantee from us.)
